69. The text in Manuscript E follows the events of Makoi (Saturn) from Maro 15 (166 + 365 = 531 = 18 * 29½) to Anakena 5 when all the Explorers together went downhill and returned to Hanga Te Pau.

Makoi got up and began to familiarize himself with the (new) land. (This took place) on the fifteenth day of the month of June ('Maro'). He went toward the sheer face of the rocks (titi o te opata), was astonished (aaa), came up to the middle (of the outer rim of the crater), and stood at the very edge.

He looked down and saw the 'Pu Mahore of Hau Maka' (on the coast) and said, 'There it is, the hole of the mahore fish of Hau Maka!' He turned his face and looked toward the back (i.e., in the direction of the crater). No sooner had he seen how the dark abyss opened up (below him), when a fragrant breeze came drifting by. Again Makoi said, 'This is the dark abyss of Hau Maka'.

He turned around, walked on in utter amazement, and arrived at the house. He spoke to Ira, 'Hey you, my friends! How forgetful we (truly) are. This place is adequate (? tau or 'beautiful'), the dark abyss lies there peacefully!' Ira replied, 'And what should that remind us of up here?' All arose and climbed up. They went on and arrived; they all had a good look (at the inside of the crater). They returned home and sat down. Night fell, and they went to sleep.

... On the fifth day of the month of July ('Anakena'), they all got up, went downhill, went on, and reached Hanga Te Pau.

The Explorers had gone uphill from Hanga Te Pau in Maro 10 (the first day in the month of Jus Piter, Father Light) and in Anakena 5 they went down again. 186 ("July 5) - 161 ("June 10) = 25 days - a Saturn number:

Although Makoi (Saturn) went by himself only from "June 15 - probably because 18 * 29½ = 3 * 177 was important to be documented in the text. A fat (pregnant) rising fish high up under the 'roof top' illustrated his position:

Makoi named the place Hanga Te Pau, 'the landing site of Ira'. So that they would remember (? he aringa, literally, 'as face'), the open side of Hanga Te Pau was given this name. Ira got up. They all climbed to the top of the hill. They climbed up on the tenth day of the month of June 'Maro'.

They reached the side crater (te manavai) and looked around carefully. Makoi said, 'This is the Manavai of Hau Maka.' They climbed farther and reached the top. They saw the dark abyss and the large hole (of the crater Rano Kau). They all said, 'Here it is, young men, the dark abyss of Hau Maka.' They made camp and constructed a house. Kuukuu got up, worked the ground, and heaped up the earth for the yam roots. They climbed farther and reached the top. They saw the dark abyss and the large hole (of the crater Rano Kau). They all said, 'Here it is, young men, the dark abyss of Hau Maka.' They made camp and constructed a house.

... Midsummer is the flowering season of the oak, which is the tree of endurance and triumph, and like the ash is said to 'court the lightning flash'. Its roots are believed to extend as deep underground as its branches rise in the air - Virgil mentions this - which makes it emblematic of a god whose law runs both in Heaven and in the Underworld ... The month, which takes its name from Juppiter the oak-god, begins on June 10th and ends of July 7th. Midway comes St. John's Day, June 24th, the day on which the oak-king was sacrificially burned alive. The Celtic year was divided into two halves with the second half beginning in July, apparently after a seven-day wake, or funeral feast, in the oak-king's honour ...

The time of Bharani could have been important because at that ancient time (around 41 * 71 - 1842 AD = 1069 BC) Sun and Sirius would in "June 30 have been at Alphard, at the top of the mast of Argo Navis:

... Etymologically the characters are certainly connected with darkness and light respectively. The character Yin ... involves graphs for hill(shadows) and clouds; the character Yang has slanting sunrays or a flag fluttering in the sunshine, if indeed it does not represent a person holding the perforated disc of jade which was the symbol of heaven, the source of all light, and which may have been originally ... the most ancient astronomical instrument ...

He took a leathern apron, such as smiths // Wear to protect their legs while at the forge,

Stuck it upon a spear's point and forthwith // Throughout the market dust began to rise ...

He took the lead, and many valiant men // Resorted to him; he rebelled and went

To Faridūn. When he arrived shouts rose. // He entered the new prince's court, who marked

The apron on the spear and hailed the omen. // He decked the apron with brocade of Rūm

Of jewelled patterns on a golden ground, // Placed on the spear point a full moon - a token

Portending gloriously - and having draped it // With yellow, red, and violet, he named it

The Kawian flag. Thenceforth when any Shah // Ascended to the throne, and donned the crown,

He hung the worthless apron of the smith // With still more jewels, sumptuous brocade,

And painted silk of Chin. It thus fell out // That Kawa's standard grew to be a sun

Amid the gloom of night, and cheered all hearts.

This place was 4 weeks (28 glyphs = JULY 5 - JUNE 7) before the opposite pole where the revolution had forced the king to seek shelter high up inside his Royal Oak:

... Robur Carolinum, Charles' Oak, the Quercia of Italy and the Karlseiche of Germany, was formally published by Halley in 1679 in commemoration of the Royal Oak of his patron, Charles II, in which the king had lain hidden for twenty-four hours after his defeat by Cromwell in the battle of Worcester, on the 3rd of September 1651 ...

... To sleep within the Goddess's womb was to die and to come to life anew ...

... Then I become aware of ... a presence - a faint, ghostly glimmering, like moonglow, that has appeared on the solstice stone. I don't know how long it lasts, a second or two only I would guess, but while it is there it seems less like a projection - which I know it to be - than something immanent within the stone itself. And it seems to function as a herald for it fades almost as soon as it has appeared and in its place the full effect snaps on - instantaneously. It wasn't there, and then it's there. As Chris had described, the effect does curiously resemble a poleaxe, or a flag on a pole, and consists of a 'shaft', narrow at the base but widening a little towards the top, running up the left hand side of the solstice stone, surmounted by a right-facing 'head' or 'flag'. An instant later an almond-shaped spot of light, like an eye, appears a few centimeters to the right of the 'flag' and the effect is complete. Weirdly - I do not claim it has any significance - this flag-on-a-pole symbol is the ancient Egyptian hieroglyph neter, meaning 'god', or 'a god' - and not to be understood at all in the Judaeo-Christian usage of that word but rather as a reference to one of the supernatural powers or principles that guide and balance the universe. Manifested here, in this strange Stone Age temple, it glows, as though lit by inner fire.'

... During his coronation year king Taufa'ahau Tupou IV advanced the theory that the Ha'amonga stones must have served a greater purpose than the more obvious function as a gateway. This proved to be the case when closer investigation revealed a secret mark on the lintel (threshold) stone ... On June 21st 1967 at dawn his majesty was present at this place and it was a thrilling moment when the sun rose at the exact point indicated by his interpretation of the lines etched on the great stone ...

This is the flag of Mangareva (the main land of the Gambier group) and from it we can see the meaning of the Mayan quincunx sign - viz. how its 4 corner 'stones' were positioned to align the central stone with the Sun at sunrise and sunset at the solstices:

... On February 9 the Chorti Ah K'in, 'diviners', begin the agricultural year. Both the 260-day cycle and the solar year are used in setting dates for religious and agricultural ceremonies, especially when those rituals fall at the same time in both calendars. The ceremony begins when the diviners go to a sacred spring where they choose five stones with the proper shape and color. These stones will mark the five positions of the sacred cosmogram created by the ritual.

When the stones are brought back to the ceremonial house, two diviners start the ritual by placing the stones on a table in a careful pattern that reproduces the schematic of the universe. At the same time, helpers under the table replace last year's diagram with the new one. They believe that by placing the cosmic diagram under the base of God at the center of the world they demonstrate that God dominates the universe.

The priests place the stones in a very particular order. First the stone that corresponds to the sun in the eastern, sunrise position of summer solstice is set down; then the stone corresponding to the western, sunset position of the same solstice. This is followed by stones representing the western, sunset position of the winter solstice, then its eastern, sunrise position. Together these four stones form a square. They sit at the four corners of the square just as we saw in the Creation story from the Classic period and in the Popol Vuh. Finally, the center stone is placed to form the ancient five-point sign modern researchers called the quincunx ...

... Barthel informs us that the Maori singers in New Zealand, where the breadfruit did not grow, 'translated' kuru (= breadfruit) in the old songs - from the times when their forefathers lived in a warmer climate - into poporo. He points out that in the Marquesas they counted the fruits from the breadfruit trees in fours, perhaps thereby explaining the four 'berries' in this type of glyph. The breadfruit did not grow on Easter Island but the berries of Solanum nigrum were eaten in times of famine. Barthel compares with the word koporo on Mangareva. The poor crop of breadfruits at the end of the harvest season was called mei-koporo, where mei stood for breadfruit. On other islands breadfruit was called kuru, except in the Marquesas which also used the word mei. Koporo was a species of nightshade ...
